a crossfade start function automatically starts a player when you drag the crossfade slider towards it (you can set the threshold in the preferences)
a crossfade stop function that automatically stops a player when you drag the crossfade slider to the very opposite of it
a stunning playing track information system that puts information about the currently playing track into a textfile or into a complete webpage (in HTML code)
expanded internal drag- and drop capabilities – drag tracks easily to the AutoPlay list, to the Jingles player or onto the «Delete» icon in order to remove them from the stock
a more responsive and more comfortable sequencer playback function.

Unregistered version supports only 10 tracks per set and only 2 sets.
What's New:
new volume adjustment functions
a new iTunes importer allows to import playlists exported from iTunes
a new drag-and-drop function that allows to easily drag (or copy) a track into another stock.
a great new search engine (similar to Sherlock from Apple) that looks through ID3 data of all tracks in all stocks and displays a clean list
improved AutoPlay functions with a cleaner BPMedit window and smarter
playlist editing
AutoPlay works now internally with ID3 data
AutoPlay now works with the playing track information system
improved PFL functions; new option to have PFL always turned on
improved sliders: keep the command key pressed to ignore automatic

improved Media functions

and much more – a good share of the changes have been made under the hood
to make On Air better, faster and to pave the way to Classic and Mac OS X.
